I can't seem to lock down the route privacy - please help
I've been having a lot of trouble getting my tracks off of the public domain.
See this track for instance:
https://www.gaiagps.com/datasummary/track/49feeed69e3c44baca367474be877bc1/?layer=GaiaTopoRasterFeet
Unfortuantely - this track isn't even showing up under my profile user name> then clicking on tracks>
It will come up under the mobile view - in the app - but nothing would indicate that it's set to be public.
Is there a way I can REMOVE all public tracks? It's super concerning from a privacy standpoint for me.

Hi Jesse,
This can happen if you changed the "Who Has Access" button to "Everyone" after recording a track. This setting is "sticky," so if you did it once it would have automatically shared future tracks.
To make your data private, follow these steps:
iOS: Make your Tracks & Waypoints Public/Private
web: Make your Tracks, Routes, Waypoints, and Folders Public/Private from gaiagps.com
You can double-check what data is public on your account by:- Logging into your account on the website here: https://www.gaiagps.com/profile/
- Click Public Profile
- You will then see a list of your data that is public. You can then click an item and set it to private if needed
To make sure all of your future data is set to private by default, you can:
- Open the Gaia GPS app on your phone> click Settings> Account> check 'Auto-publish' is toggled Off.
After recording a track, on the "Name and Save" page, ensure you have "Who has access" set to "Only you". The app will remember this preference once it's been set. You can record a test track to change this setting now.
